So in your example Black people have no right to a service if the location does not wish to serve them? If the next closest location is a days drive away so be it? Maybe they just need to go live closer to those services?

Yes. As a business owner they can refuse business to anyone. They also have to deal with any fallout as a result of such a racist policy.

There should be some class of protections, maybe some civil code of rights or something..

Unfortunately, i think these only pertain to hiring of individuals.

Not true. Title II of Civil Rights Act (1964) prohibits discrimination in public accomodations (such as hotels and restaurants or other establishments that serve the public), as affirmed by the Supreme Court to be enforceable in for example Heart of Atlanta Motel, Inc. (1964).

I'm happy to be proven wrong. I just don't understand why they seem so lenient when there's discrimination regarding religion or sexual orientation.
